HN is a great community. Just wondering what kind of people are active at HN: a uni student? an employee in a tech company? a founder of a new startup? an investor ? or?? Tell us who you are.

I create adventure. I leave slain dragons in my wake. I build monuments, plant flags, discover wonders, and lead armies.

I sing duets, dance tangos, and play concertos.

I cook banquets. I wheel, make deals, and strike bargains. I purchase fruit in large quantities. I partake and imbibe. I articulate, expound, and drive home the point. I maintain a strong moral fiber and act with integrity.

I forge trails and bushwhack through jungles. When I am not walking, I am running. I sail and drive and fly and ride and crawl.

I write encyclopaedias. I learn, study, forecast, ponder, and calculate. I know the answer.

I am nice, warm, strong, creative, solid, confident, funny, intelligent, and a little crazy.

wow superman, I didn't know you were on here!

or a deluded hippy

I am a student who is 1 year away from a BS in computer engineering. I'm also working on a startup.

Ex-college kid. Working at Walmart ISD now for the time being.

Go back. You'll make the debt up.

Going to a technical school instead. I can afford it in the long run.

I think at one time that was safe advice to anyone talking about college, but I think now, unless you know the amount of debt involved and other details, you can't just glibly toss that off. There are many people and situations where going to college or staying in college is not the best idea.

Same, minus the ex- part. I live in an apartment with Cows and wish I had enough motivation and free time after my workweek (and school during the fall and spring) to throw together some android apps or some of my startup ideas. In my spare time I geek out about typography, music, and compilers.. or just sleep in.

Currently employed at a late state, nasa funded startup... soon to be writing my own software full time, at least for a while.

nice!

I'm a design UI/UX freelancer and entrepreneur - currently getting my feet wet w/ ruby and ROR

My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

...or maybe I'm just a software engineer / small company owner ( SmartFlix.com / HeavyInk.com) outside of Boston...

Someone who runs a few websites and wants to learn to write a programming language so I can write a "game" (simulation) as a teaching tool for one of them. I also want to more effectively monetize the work I do on the web so I can quit my day job and spend more of my time working on the things I believe in.

maybe Adobe flex would be useful?

I have a certificate in GIS, so I'm impressed that ESRI is using it. I guess I will have to look into it. Thanks.:)
